Send in Blackwater. They'll kill everybody and collect trillions of taxpayers dollars in the effort. Of course, they may not take care of the problem but, hey, beggers can't be choosers!

The following comments are by By Kim Sengupta Wednesday, 19 November 2008: "The American security company Blackwater is planning to cash in on the rising threat of piracy on the high seas by launching a flotilla of gunboats for hire by the shipping companies. The firm, which gained international notoriety when its staff killed civilians in Iraq, has already equipped one vessel, called The McArthur, which will carry up to 40 armed guards and have a landing pad for an attack helicopter." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/blackwater-gunboats-will-protect-ships-1024582.html
